Steel Fist Miniatures has a new owner!
« on: October 02, 2017, 09:50:08 PM »
I'm very pleased to announce that Simon Chick is the new owner of Steel Fist Miniatures.

Simon and I have worked together before. He has a great interest and sensitivity toward the historically accurate details that I like to put into the miniatures. Simon's medieval collections can be seen on his blog https://je-lay-emprins.blogspot.co.uk

Customers will also be pleased to know that there are plans to expand all the current ranges that Steel Fist produces, with me continuing to act as sculptor. This means that the 28mm Samurai, Renaissance and Later Medieval ranges will all see new figures being added.

For the time being the business will run as usual, but we have exciting plans for the future which we will advise on in the next few weeks.I would also like to take opportunity to thank all the customers who have supported the business and my vision of producing highly detailed miniatures from the very beginning until now.

I'm sure that Simon will continue this vision with the new miniatures.

Oh wow, excellent news! Nice one Simon!
I'm very pleased to hear you'll be going back to the late medieval range too, looking forward to seeing what you come up with. I bought some of your armoured Swiss from Simon - they are fantastic!

Well well - Simon becomes a fully fledged lead baron  ;)
I hope it works out very well for both of you. I'm sure it will. Bon chances!
Looking forward to seeing what you come up with between you...

Those are some great news! I've been a fan of Simon's work for quite a fair amount of time now, so I am more than pleased to hear that Steelfist is safely in his good hands. Still, with you as the sculptor, I have very little doubt the company will prosper into one of the very best in market. Cheers, will keep an eye on here!

I am very happy that Simon has taken this on. He is a perfectionist and enthusiast for medievals and will be able to keep the Steel Fist philosophy alive.

I just keep hoping you find a US distributor at some point. I really don't like dealing with the mess for international shipping.

Hopefully he will add sprues of separate Samurai/Ashigaru weapons and heads.

Good news, it would be very bad to lose this excellent range. So, an expert as new owner is great news. Looking forward for the next stuff.
